Good Housekeeping is teaming up with Edison Nation, an idea-to-shelf product developer and online inventor community, to launch a nationwide search for the next Big Idea in consumer products.
Participants can submit ideas with images, sketches and video here. Submissions should be unique and may include product ideas in categories such as cooking, kitchenware and food prep gadgets, home and bath, lawn, garden and tools, baby and childcare, beauty, fitness, sports and outdoor recreation, travel, storage and organization, pet products, tech and textiles.
“We evaluate thousands of products in the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, and each year, a few stand out as true game-changers—products that make our lives easier, save time and money, or just make everyday tasks more fun,” said Rosemary Ellis, editor in chief of Good Housekeeping. “Now, we’re turning to our readers to find the next great consumer product idea.”
“Edison Nation specializes in helping everyday people bring their product ideas to store shelves, and we’re thrilled to partner with Good Housekeeping on an opportunity to take consumers’ ‘a-ha’ moments to the next level,” said Louis Foreman, chief executive of Edison Nation.
The deadline for submissions is January 14, 2013. Edison Nation’s team of product review experts will review and research each idea submitted, and those selected for development will be brought to market by Edison Nation and Good Housekeeping, with the inventor sharing in the royalties.
